An electric Snuggie? Yes, please

I am most comfortable, temperature-wise, when I’m in the shower or driving in the car — alone.

In both cases I don’t need to worry about anyone’s comfort level, but my own and I can turn up the water till my skin has red prickle marks or blast the heat in my car to the point the navigation system malfunctions.

The majority of my October-May existence is spent cold and uncomfortable (oil is too expensive these days to crank my heat to 82 degrees).

So, when my mom heard about the electric Snuggie (AKA The Toasty) she called me up and said “this would be perfect for you.”

She’s right.

Currently, I have a regular snuggie. It’s mint green and fuzzes all over everything. But I love it and keep it in my desk at work. It’s especially helpful to get me through the day when I am dressed inappropriately for the weather.

You, too can be snug as a bug in an electric rug for the not-so-low price of $60. And, unlike the $14.99, BOGO Snuggie, The Toasty does not come with a complimentary book light.

My heat is set at 62 in the winter. The boys and husband walk around barefoot, and the boys are usually shirtless. I keep a large basket of blankets in the family and living rooms, as well as the den. I wouldn’t use these because they are electric. I’ll stick to my quilts and fleece.

I had to throw out my Royal Blue Snuggie because my bald cat kneed a hole right through it… and it was fuzzing all over everything. Hopefully The Toasty has a little more structure, because I’m not convinced that my Snuggie wasn’t a fire hazard.

OMG Bert-Bert! My son also has a royal blue snuggie, that my ”bald” sphynx cats kneed a hole through it! We pretty much leave the snuggie in their cat bed in front of the fireplace now-a-days and let them snuggle and kneed away. Love my bald cats, not loving snuggies. Think I will avoid the whole Toasty too.

Since we are sharing – My heat is set to 73….Im not paying all that money to mortgage complany to sit in my house under blankets or layered up in extra clothes – to compensate for the high temp, I shut it off when I leave for the day and when I go to bed. I recived a snuggie as a joke and was suprised how t h i n it is – you can see light coming right through it…..I would hope the Toasty is thicker

inlove- We left it out for a while, but eventually had to throw it away. The fuzz was sticking to my Sphynx and getting tracked all over the house. It was pretty serious. As in, each time I vacuumed, I’d see blue fuzz in the canister. Oy!

First the Snuggie, next the Snazzy Napper, and then the Toasty? Is the world of blankets with sleeves trying to control the world this winter? Hmmm, I think so.

My dad has the original Snuggie. My sister bought it as a joke for him for Christmas a couple years ago. We thought he was kidding that he wanted it but he actually wasn’t. We have only seen him wear the Snuggie once or twice. Right now, it is gone in the midst of the mess we call home.

this is great! i love my snuggie, well i love any blanket for that fact. If i could bring one to work to snuggle up in–i would! I have at least 6 blankets in my onw living room and sometimes im using all of then at once! haha i would deff purchase a toasty but not for $60 sorry.

Colin M ~ sphynx cats shed very little dander, most of the time people are allergic to their saliva which in turn is all over their body when you pet them because they bathe themselves daily. They just do not shed pet hair/dander at all. they tend to get a little greasy though so they need to be bathed 1-2 times per week, but they love water so it is not a big deal.

I think it would be a safety hazard after reading all the comments about he original, I don’t think I’d add electric and heat to it too. Kristi: I always thought you were a ‘warm’ person because when I see you on tv your are always in short sleeves or sleeveless tops (but maybe it’s just hot with the camera lights on you).
